What clients are saying

 
 
My family went on a hike with Ross and they LOVED it! Super knowledgeable about the area. Fit the hike specifically to my family’s needs in terms of activity and time lapse. We are super happy and satisfied with Ross’ hike and photo shoot and would do it again a million times! Totally worth it! Bucket list experience!

Ross is really professional in both portrait photography and mountain hiking. It’s very rare to find any photographer who is willing to hike long-distance (16 miles) and also bring all the heavy camera gears up to the mountain (maybe 50lb for him!). You can gain so much energy and experience from Ross while hiking with him. He taught us a couple of poses and made us feel comfortable and natural when taking our engagement photos. He could capture so well on the peak even when it’s in the dawn (not much light). Ross is also very organized and detailed-oriented in preparing the pre-hike document, listing a couple of photo ops, which saves us a lot of time finding spots on the way. The communication with Ross is very quick and easy, from preparation, hiking to editing photos. Highly recommended to anyone who loves outdoor and wants to have a great memory saved to your album. This hike with so many amazing photos is definitely our most unforgettable experience for our engagement!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience! It was a wonderful adventure. Ross is a leader. First, he came from afar to guide us on this adventure, so he drove four hours to reach our destination. Then, he helped us with everything. He was always in the care of our safe path. Additional, He is a professional photographer. During the whole adventure he took beautiful photos and videos of us. Thanks for your excellent service. He is a respectful and very attentive man. I am very happy to have lived such a special day with my wife on our anniversary. Thanks for her help. 100% recommended this activity.

It’s hard to put in to words how awesome this experience was. Ross was a super cool dude and I enjoyed the conversation during our challenging climb. He also doesn’t take a cookie cutter approach to things and customized the experience based on my skill level etc. I highly recommend him and will book again the next time I am in Washington.

We hiked Mount Margaret with Ross and not only were the photos amazing but we had a great time spending time together. Ross is a super kind person and fun to share an adventure with. I love how open he was sharing his thoughts on photography and I was able to learn a lot during our hike. We ended up framing a couple of the pictures he took and gave them to friends and family for Christmas. We definitely felt comfortable with him leading us on a trail we had never done before. Thanks again for being awesome Ross! And if you are thinking about taking an adventure with him definitely do it!

Ross offers a directed venture that captures unfathomable views. It was an absolute pleasure to be led to a beautiful viewpoint locally and have Ross effortlessly capture moments all along the way.

I climbed Mt. Thorp with Ross for my birthday. At almost 6000 ft elevation and a 17 hour journey in snow, it easily places as the most physically strenuous thing I’ve ever done in my entire life - but it was all so worth it. The view at the top was unbelievable and remarkable to say the least. My experience with Ross as a guide was nothing short of amazing. He was patient with me as this was my first time snowshoeing; he offered great tips, always checked in on me to see how I was doing, and always made sure we were going at a pace I was comfortable with. Ross is a very experienced hiker - you could not have a better guide in Washington. He is very well versed and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and various hikes that are around, not to mention a talented photographer; his photos speak for themselves. In the beginning stages of planning our hike, Ross was extremely easy to reach and thorough on what to expect, things I should bring, and how to prepare for our hike. Could not have had a better experience with him, thank you again, Ross!

Portraiture from a landscape photographer's perspective

It’s half about capturing you and half about capturing nature at her best. We chase the sun and clouds, shoot at dusk and dawn, drive or hike, and we capture your adventurous lifestyle in a stunning piece of art.

why?

One day your children and grandchildren will look at your cherished photos and the significance of the memories made together and it's connection to nature won’t be realized.

Let’s change that…

Portrait photography traditionally, and still modernly, lacks in ability to express an outdoor lifestyle and the importance it has to us [adventurers]. Let's create landscape photos that show ourselves experiencing nature's finest!
